Getting the boat cleated to the dock fast with a cleat hitch

Check out the full course here - https://www.nauticed.org/bundle/view/skipper - US Coast Guard’s EDU-3 Recreational American National Standards The most important thing when coming into the dock (besides not hitting it) is to have your crew cleat the docklines fast. Don't worry about the exact knot - an O some X's and a few O's will hold the line without it slipping. Once the boat is settled then you can make adjustments. Too many people stress the cleat hitch and when you're wanting to get the boat cleated fast, having inexperienced crew futz around trying to figure out a knot is not what you want. Get it on FAST.
